Streamlining Platform Engineering¶
In today's fast-paced software landscape, enterprises rely on shared platforms to cater to diverse development needs. Platform engineering sits at the heart of this dynamic, ensuring a reliable and adaptable foundation for multiple teams and applications. Platform engineers wear many hats, from designing and implementing the platform to continuously evolving it with changing requirements. But the rewards are substantial: streamlined development, empowered developers through self-service, a collaborative environment, optimized resource utilization, and enhanced security – all leading to a more efficient and flexible software development lifecycle.
Harmonizing Development Practices¶
The BACK Stack orchestrates a robust suite of open-source tools, each tackling a critical pain point:
